The band recently released a video for their brand new single ‘I Wish Myself To Be Happier’. The single is taken off the bands newly announced their brand new album ‘Violent Oblivion’ out 3rd May 2024 via Rude Records. The record sees the band return with their signature pop rock sound and catchy melodies. Pre-Order of ‘Violent Oblivion’ available – HERE
Speaking about the new single OAKMAN said, “‘I Wish Myself To Be Happier’ is an emotional outlet song. At first, the sound of this track brings a kind of candid touch but the message behind is quite the opposite. It captures the moment when you can no longer contain your feelings and anger, and everything eventually blow up. Sometimes, when you’re really mad at someone, your anger can get so intense that you briefly think about doing something to mess up their life… Of course, we usually don’t act on those thoughts, (right?!) The reason always comes back to us.”

On the new album the band said,“Violent Oblivion is that violent break with the outside world, our own emotions, and the encounter with our traumas. Through the songs, it represents the different mental states Violent Oblivion can put us in. The powerful catchy melodies and lively instrumentals conceal deep and strong feelings, mental problems, excitement, fear and despair. Getting out of this Violent Oblivion is a big challenge, so we eventually hang on to find some hope and love to cope”.
